I have some basic questions about this game:
>Is it still worth getting into nowadays?
>Is it as addicting as everyone says?
>Can you really make enough in-game currency to pay monthly fee?
>Can older systems run it with dumbed down graphics?
>>344139952
Bump
>>344139952
I hope all of these are rhetorical questions.
>>344141292
So I assume you mean 'yes'??
>>344141470
I honestly think you can work the answers out yourself, without gaining more information. Have a free bump.
1. Yes
2. It's not addicting but it can become a job if you go far enough down the rabbit hole. Mining and Space Trucking especially.
3. You will never make enough money in the first month to pay for PLEX. Expect to play for a while before being good and wealthy enough to buy PLEX on a regular basis
4. It's a pretty simple game that isn't dependent on FPS and graphics. But run it on a decent machine if you want to see how pretty the game is.
Ultimately, EVE is a game driven by players and emergent behavior. The devs provide features and mechanics but don't tell you how to play for the most part. If you aren't dedicated to the game, and if you can't take risks, it's boring. Some people will say its boring anyways but if you can find your niche then the game is worth it.
Nope. It's a shit game. A lot of current players have multiple alts, and you should have alts considering how you can earn skills while offline. If you pay for another copy, you are allowed to multibox. In this regard, you are a little spec in the grand scheme of things. Your only hope is to join a corp where you will then become a spec in a group of specs in a server of specs. If you join a big corp war or something, you will be a spec shooting at other specs when your leader tells you to. You wanna mine? Boring. Wanna trade? Boring and you're competing against scripters, because a lot of people script to get resources no matter how much people try to deny it. Wanna combat? I suppose you could do that with trashers, but that'll get boring eventually.
Overall, it's grinding for nothing. The only way to make this game sorta fun is to have a corp filled with close friends where you guys can go off and shitpost somewhere.

Alright, show us proof of these scripters.
>>344139952
>>Is it still worth getting into nowadays?
Yeah, with skill injectors you can quickly amass SP if you have the isk to buy them. Also nowadays groups like HORDE, Brave, TEST and Karma fleet a lot of EVE is a lot more accessible to brand new players.
>>Is it as addicting as everyone says?
Only in the sense that the social connections you'll make in the game will keep you coming back. EVE is actually boring as fuck but it is one of the few MMOs that also still requires you to make friends.
>>Can you really make enough in-game currency to pay monthly fee?
If you know what you are doing. Unlikely to manage it in your first few months playing.
>>Can older systems run it with dumbed down graphics?
The game has a free trial, find out for yourself.

>>344139952
It's a glorious camera spinning simulator with a lot of stuff to do which you can only do successfully/without frustration, if you fund at least a secondary account (to scout, play market, scam, offgrid boost)
The community is the most toxic of any MMO, and filled with online sadists and masochists. This game is only addictive if you enjoy griefing people, or being griefed.
CCP realized that those types of gamers were regulars of EvE, and designed their business model around it: multiple accounts allow no consequences for griefers' mains, and permit potential griefees to scout ahead.
Markets are filled with automated bots. RMT is so prevalent that 0.0 alliances are litterally Ponzi schemes, their leaders transform tax ISK into real money.
Play Star Citizen, it's more fun, you don't need three accounts to compete, and the twitch gameplay ensures the upper hand doesn't go to the most deceitful piece of shit.

>>344144332
So when is Star Citizen going to release. It should've been released back in 2014..
>>344145726
CCP operates a reward system for reporting obvious bots, so yes, there hasn't been a banwave for a few months so expect another towards the end of the summer.
>>344145757
Star Citizen is also not a competitor to Eve Online.
>wake me up inside
One of the staples of this game is gatecamps: imagine half a dozen fat angry depressed alt-tabbed neckbeards playing browser games and circlejerking on voice comms, telling each other how leet they are, waiting for a gate activation signal to tab back into EvE and gank whatever comes through that gate, in the hope the loot is costly and the griefed dude goes mad (if he drops his subscription, it's epic loot ^^ )
Alternatively, the campers with stationary scouts, and multiple displays, survey local tabs in other systems and can at a glance see if a group of gatecamp busters are inbound, which happens once in a blue moon, for a good reason: campers seeing them coming, thanks to unrelated alts, just dock up and run pve missions with their missioning char, until wannabe vigilantes go away.
There is more meta in this "game" than actual gameplay
>>344145726
They're pretty common. Considering that EVE is a very context menu focused game, they tend to be rather easy to script. The botted resources flood the economy and drop prices. Stuff like this makes it harder for newer players to get into the game.

But hey, you dug your own grave
>>344145757
I expect middle of next year for it to be fundamentally feature complete, with several major tech advancements before the end of the year like planetary landing and multiple systems. They said they expect to release a lot of shit this year but we know how that goes.
The game they had initially promised to their backers in 2012 might have released in 2014 or possibly delayed to just 2015, but once it became apparent they would have enough money to forgo all inhibitions, they decided to completely embrace feature creep and tack on FPS gameplay, seamless space to planet transitions, procedurally generated planets, a bigger seamless universe, probably several other things I'm forgetting. Basically going from being an average space sim to being the dream universe simulator eve-but-good game people dream of. That shit added several years to the timeline.
No doubt many of the coders they have working on this project are not as professional or efficient as they could be, inexperience led to delays, and cryengine being a piece of shit that they've basically had to break down and rebuild from the ground up also contributed about a year of additional development time. It's been a development clusterfuck but it's got too much funding to ever slow down now. Nothing can stop it.

OP here. You sold me on a game, but I'm sorta poorfag. Minimal wage here is ~350€, so you really have to like a game to pay 15€/month.
Is there really no hope to make profit trading first month?

You can literally buy in-game currency with real money. The whole point of the game is to acquire in game currency and spend it on shiny ships and shit.

Dueling people and camping gates is incredible fun, but actually getting to where you can do that without bankrupting yourself is kind of a slog. Starting out fresh has only ever gotten more streamlined though, last year or the year before that they put out this derpy little specialized mining frigate which not only makes it easier for you to do any stupid mining shit you're gonna be doing, it also means these derpy little frigates are fucking everywhere and they're easy as fuck to one shot
>>344147376
New players can't play for pvp though, they have no idea what the fuck they're doing, no way to learn strategies to take out superior ships, no way to identify vulnerable targets, and I don't know about OP but I'm sure as hell not going to spend months researching eve pvp just to be pointlessly mean to people online.
>>344147215
>>344147265
You still need decent knowledge to make that shiny ship worthwhile. Having tons of money does not make up for IRL skills in this game.
You can kill very expensive ships with some of the cheapest if you know what you are doing.

If that's the case, then either the devs are completely incompetent, or the game was actually unplayable at start. If I wanted to feel like it's 2001, I'd watch some Sandler movie.

Which involves multiple accounts, i.e. P2W (because anyway grinding isk to find them = time = money)
>>344147708
Apart from the Schadenfreude-laced PvP, which includes politics betrayal etc, there's little to do except flying around getting more billions which are useless after a while, if you don't do RMT

>Is it still worth getting into nowadays?
Yes. There are activities for all experience levels, but most of the fanbase is extremely devoted at this point.
>Is it as addicting as everyone says?
Depends on what kind of person you are.
>Can you really make enough in-game currency to pay monthly fee?
When you're a new player, probably not. It's possible but you might just be working non stop to pay the sub you won't have any fun. Also note that when I started playing a PLEX was about 400m isk but now they have inflated to about 1B isk.
>Can older systems run it with dumbed down graphics?
It's very scalable.

>>344154585
Not everyone is the CFC brah.
Most people know it's a game and will try and help you out if you're new, but after a certain point you're expected to make your own shit and you're just another killmail to them, because killboards literally ruined eve.
>>344154684
you can't do a bunch of important things with your account if it's on steam.
and I will say this, eve has something for you... if you're willing to spend a stupid amount of time making money to do any of it.
>>344154748
A good rule of thumb is that if your corp cares about killboards, it's shit.
>>344154838
I have never seen a corp that doesn't care a little bit. There's a difference between "your killboard has a bit of red on it, you're shit" and "gotta get them killmails brah"
>>344154748
Killmails and multiple accounts
There's literally no reason to play this game if you can't play it with RL friends who you know you can trust. Unless ofc you're a masochist or a sadist, in which cases you'll find comany and enablers.
Been playing on and off since 2003, believe me when I say CCP's business plan hinges on people paying good money to revel in others' misery
>>344155019
